Mnemonics - A form of words or letters that assists the memory, (eg the rhyme beginning Thirty days hath September helps with the number of days in a month, and the initial letters of the mnemonic Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain give the order of the colours in a rainbow.

Yeah I've got an excellent memory for musical notes, but even though I've been reading for a long time, words have got to be the hardest things to remember, i think it's because you have your own unique way of talking and you change the wording of sentences to suit yourself. In maths you don't really have a 'unique' way of talking so to speak and so numbers are easier to remember because your own method isn't getting in the way of remembering the general method.

That's more of an acronym than a mneumonic. Mneumonics are sentences where the first letter of each word matches the first letter of each word that you want to remember. Acronyms are simply the first letter of each word you want to remember strung together to make another word.

I probably couldn't have explained that worse if I tried.

SOHCAHTOA was fun because you could say it like SOCKAH TWAAAAA and pretend to be a ninja.

There are some useful mnemonics for e.

You probably have seen it around on the forums.

HOWEVER. Mnemonics can sometimes be useless. It is better to just use the standard way of learning numbers (or, in this case, the natural logarithm). I ignore mnemonics for reading music, I just remember the letters.
